Oh, yes, I mean promptly ~ with prompt = asking for input... promptly perhaps
does just mean what "prompt" does in german...

Are there any other *real* ones than a compiler needing a compiler (and
linker...)?

Ah, I just peeked at the bug report for suggests and yes, it makes sense to
me... is the dependency of xorg on epsgs really just of this type? You don't
need ghostscript to _build_ the documentation but only to effectively use
(read, print, ...) it?
Probably it's the same for cups and samba... (only one of them - if any -
really needing the other to build the interoperatibility in).
I would have painfully noted more "real" circular dependencies with the
manual builds on my LFS systems if these apparent circles aren't nearly all
of the type that could be fixed by using suggests. So, if this feature
existed and would be used by the concerned spells, that would be great and
probably fully sufficient.
Thomas.
